How on earth can Lewis and Melville stay on after that rubbish.
They were the ones who were supposed to have selected the team !
Why change a winning team ?
If it wasn't for Clarke it could have been 7 or 8

Horrendous tonight and the team was all down to Lewis and Melville. Both Whing and Connolly played well against Hartlepool, then they're dropped for two out of form players in Rose and Smalley. Team selection was totally wrong from the off. I pray to god that Mr Waddock gets stuck into the players otherwise we won't win another game this season.

Complete abject rubbish from start to finish, without Clarke we would have been beaten by six.

So tell me, what's with Wright, Potter, Davies and Smalley and the beards? Slowing them down is it? We had no pace at all, no chasing or hassling there players, they were better in every department than is, total crap.

And the worst decision of the night, he puts on Connolly and takes Beano off over Smalley who yet again was committing fraud, and switches Alfie in the middle, oh yeah a giant against there defenders.

We had a bit of a gathering to watch this game and with ten minutes to go a quarter of our group went home despondent at what they saw.

I reckon even the playoffs are a thing of the past.

Utter utter rubbish all night, and you lot can blast me all you like because were simply not good enough AT ALL, and you know it.

Complete and utter shambles and unacceptable.

This result comes too soon after the Chesterfield performance and what happened to giving your all for the new Manager??!

Hesitant, not really at the races, lacking in confidence, lethargic, no leaders on the pitch. Pathetic.

Rose and Potter = too lightweight and were like baby giraffes on rollerskates..

Smally and Rigg = Laurel and Hardy..

As for the defence.. People like Wright are a shadow of the former self

Too much dross and dead wood.. We need a big clear out in the summer both in players and backroom staff... Ii cant think of too many I would keep... Total lack of consistency and I think we need a lot of new bodies and fresh blood...

Nearly ended up going tonight and thank goodness I didnt..

Wright had an absolute stinker tonight. Slow ,too many misplaced clearances, just seemed frightened to commit to any tackle. As others have said Clarke had a brilliant game apart from conceding a crazy penalty, Just dont know where GW can start after that display, we need to ship out most of the players with Lewis and Melville as well.

Oh as others have mentioned, why do we tend to go backwards from free kicks? I noticed ten minutes from the end the ball was played to Smalley and like an owl his neck swivelled round backwards three times so he could pass back.

Desperate measures are needed, GW has my support to ship out the rubbish and let's hope he has a few gems in his notebook he can bring in.

Can't blame Waddock for that defeat - he's only been at the club a few hours. Abject performance, let's hope he's learnt from what he saw tonight though. In Clarke, we have one of the best goalkeepers in the bottom two divisions and we are so lucky to have him. But as for the rest, they should all take a long hard look at themselves. Where was the pride, where was the passion, where was the fight and desire? So much for trying to impress the new man in charge. It would seem half the squad couldn't care less if they are here next season or not. Quite frankly I will be glad if a few of them aren't.

Hopefully we'll never see Smalley in a yellow shirt ever again (unless it's a binman's hi-vis jacket). We desperately need some pace and some creativity. But then, we've been desperate for that all season. Time to show us what you're made off Mr. Waddock. If you can sort this mess out, I will gladly admit I was wrong about your appointment - and I know this will take longer than the 7 games we have left. I hope you do.

I must admit, Waddock doesn't come across to me as the most assertive or inspirational. However, I may be wrong on that. In terms of performance we were completely outgunned and tactics were awful, we should have had a run at them loads more as they did look vulnerable on the rare occasions we took the ball past them and moved it quick. It seemed crying out for 4-2-3-1 with Potter and Williams wide but then he goes 4-3-1-2 and puts Potter centrally. That made us even worse!! Despite the formation though we should have had a better pressing game and ball control. Makes you wonder what they're up to during the week!

It is at times like this I am glad to be on the other side of the world in Melbourne! Must admit that I was not expecting anything from this game as Southend were destined to end their winless run, and they always beat us. Waddock cannot be blamed, but now he has a week on the training ground with the lads, more will be expected for the next game. We have some top half teams coming up in the final 7 games, so our destiny is still in our hands, but on the basis of this performance it is going to be tough. We really need a decent run of results to get some form going into the play-offs, otherwise it's yet another disappointing end of season slide out of the play-offs. COYY

Well done the players!!!! instead of showing GW that you are worthy of playing for OUFC you have shown that the only thing GW needs to do now is ship the lot of you (Clarke and maybe the young players excepted) out ASAP and bring players who WANT to play for us. I think this is the last time ML and AM will have a say in the team set up. OK so injuries may have contributed to the line up but if that is the case then it proves the squad is not strong or deep enough to cover injuries. GW has a big job on the training ground this week and I am sure we will see a different set up and style of play next game. Only good thing is that we have enough points not to get relegated after that performance unless the FA decide that under the Trade Description Act decide we are not a football team and throw us out!

Most telling moment from last night a young boy outclassing 4 hapless defenders despite a couple of stumbles to score a decent goal. Everything we lacked young Loza had; speed,determination,
desire, skill, and stamina.

The entire team apart from Clarke (his one blot was stupid challenge for pen) were like rabbits in headlights. Totally clueless all over the park. I genuinely wouldn't pick anyone outside of the keeper for next season. Constable is a shadow of the player he was and for me he doesn't deserve a new contract, actually neither do the rest of the team other than Clarke. Last night convinced me that our league position was always a false one, thanks to poor results from teams around us. As other fans have said we need a clearout of the dross that we've inherited. One of the most bizarre comments from Don Goodman was 'Lewis did a great job as caretaker manager!!?? 3 wins in 12 is a great job?

Lewis and Melville need to go they've become a curse to the club. The fixture list over next 5 games tells me our season is done and I doubt we can hang on to a play off spot now. I actually feel sorry for Waddock given the dross he has to work with. Sub 4k gates next season? Lenagan has a lot of work to do if he wants fans to back him for yet another season in the lower tier.

As most comments have already pointed out, Oxford United look a total shambles. Waddock (who bears a canny resemblance to Fozzie Bear) looked totally shell shocked ( I kept expecting him to get out his mobile phone to give Karl Robinson at MK Dons a ring to ask for his old job back), The players did not have a clue, Waldorf and Staddler (Lewis and Melville) sat in the dug out smiling smugly and giggling like two school girls but still trying to hide their faces every time a camera pointed at them.
Mid table Anonymity and another chance for promotion blown.
The final insult to injury will come on the last day of the season. Northampton will trounce Oxford and secure their League two survival, Oxford (by some miracle still in with a chance of a play off place at the start of the game) will have their fate sealed by the man who walked away.
Poetic justice some may say!!!!!!!!!! and to add even more insult to injury Waldorf and Staddler (Lewis and Melville) will still be sat in the dug out smiling smugly and giggling like two school girls and still trying to hide their faces every time a camera points at them.

Superb post - the best of a great bunch. Constable tries very had but is not worth £175 - let alone the £175k we turned down from the Gas. We need more pace - plus the guile of a Connolly

Most telling moment from last night a young boy outclassing 4 hapless defenders despite a couple of stumbles to score a decent goal. Everything we lacked young Loza had; speed,determination,

The entire team apart from Clarke (his one blot was stupid challenge for pen) were like rabbits in headlights. Totally clueless all over the park. I genuinely wouldn't pick anyone outside of the keeper for next season. Constable is a shadow of the player he was and for me he doesn't deserve a new contract, actually neither do the rest of the team other than Clarke. Last night convinced me that our league position was always a false one, thanks to poor results from teams around us. As other fans have said we need a clearout of the dross that we've inherited. One of the most bizarre comments from Don Goodman was 'Lewis did a great job as caretaker manager!!?? 3 wins in 12 is a great job?
Lewis and Melville need to go they've become a curse to the club. The fixture list over next 5 games tells me our season is done and I doubt we can hang on to a play off spot now. I actually feel sorry for Waddock given the dross he has to work with. Sub 4k gates next season? Lenagan has a lot of work to do if he wants fans to back him for yet another season in the lower tier.[/p][/quote]Superb post - the best of a great bunch.

Good post. I honestly believe Constable, aka - another missed goal, has become a liability as a forward. Perhaps try him out as an attacking midfielder as he does try. If you look at his goals (9) and Connolly (8) there is the proof. Connolly has only played a handfull of games. We need a PROPER striker.

Well what a really poor team you are i was laughing all through it. Hoof Ball all night and looked like a bunch of non league players.

Absolutely loved the fact you got stuffed and by this weekend could be out the play off places.

Fantastic night seeing you lot get stuffed.

As i keep telling you FOREVER IN OUR SHADOW

Keep playing like that and who knows you could be back where most of your history is in the non leagues.

I'm totally shocked, A Swindon fan actually talking a little sense. In response, Yes We are a poor side and Yes we did look like a non-league side and yes we have cocked it up and will have to spend another season in League Two.
But NO we will never be in your shadow cos such a poxy club like yourselves cast a shadow just about the size of a postage stamp. Swindon must be such a dull uninspiring boring hole if you have got nothing better to do with your time than watch the team you supposedly hate so much on TV. I personally would rather sit through ninety minutes of the test card on BBC 1 than watch Swindon play. The test card would probably be far more entertaining as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a neggy bunch of posts but hardly surprising, I guess! I wonder if the players read these??? Maybe they should be forced too?
If the players wanted Mickey as boss, they sure showed it in an extraordinary way & if they went out to impress a new boss, as is usual in football, then the people commented on here about a clear out are probably right.
I think CW took us as far as he could but I still feel another reason he left for Northampton was he knew we were a couple of players short. I just wonder where we'd be with those two signings, (he secured at his new club), we could still of been top three???? His big mistake I feel was placing too much on Kitson!!
Move on, next season now, GM will need time to get the players he wants, let's give him a fair shot at it!!!!

i felt big mistake was to not start with connelly and whiing as they were both impressive against hpool. realise they may have not lasted the 90 but surely it would be better to let them impose themselves on the game and sub them if they tired. whing in particular would have bolstered us defensively. as for the idiot le gods remarks has he forgotten macclesfield so soon as stfc were less than impressive thatday.

Even though Mickey mouse and Auntie Melvile made a few -some might say unnecessary changes, I was still shocked that the 'team' looked completely different to the one that won a hard FOUGHT match against H'pool.
They (So called players) should be totally embarrassed and ashamed they blackened the Club's name, somehow I doubt that- too many mercenaries and journey men.
Time to re-consider the decision to retain ML an AM- only PLEASE don't take another eight weeks over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure either could give us another full 90 mins so quick, but if nothing else I would have started with them even if they could only give us the first half, by that time it was all over.

Dubes can only speak as he finds, sometimes the truth hurts, GW would not have been my choice but I don't pay the bills, well I do a bit with my season ticket but you know what I mean, GW is going to get time, let's hope he makes best use of the time to ship some dead wood out.

Supporters of teams he has managed have said his tactics need a bit to be desired, and his man magement is not as it should be, let's give him time as I say and see, if this time next year were worse off, playing crap footy then I shall be calling for his head.
